So here is my first contribution to the Community. I will show you how to change the boot splash screen, and have made a splash screen I am using now. First things first credit to be given where credit is due I did not develope the file used to change the splash screen That credit goes to MOBILETECHVIDEOS.COM and CONNEXION2005 of XDA-Developers.COM you can see the whole system they use @ xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1136699....But what I do is flash the tar file I have shared with Mobile Odin. The phone will reboot and show GaudiBootImage draw fail. Don't worry this is normal. Now with root explorer find the image you want make your splash screen, and name it "gaudi_bootimage.jpg" Don't worry about permissions and paste it into the root of phone in folder (mnt/.lfs) then reboot and enjoy.

I am also willing to take requests for splash screens if people want. Not sure if I will be able to get a lot done but I will try my best.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PanchoPlanet:
Is this meant to replace your stock boot screen?

Can this be used on a stock rooted build like fk23? Or do you need a deodexed Rom to run this.?

TIA.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sherbon26:
Yes it replaces stock boot screen before the sprint video plays and I have not tried on odexed rom but I believe it works use at own risk and make sure you have backed up nandroid!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sherbon26:
So just out of curiosity is anybody using this? Of so I will do some more pics.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] prguzman1978:
How would i add my own custom image to the splash screen whats the method?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] albertouresti:
Dont mean to hijack the thread or anything but have used this on jelly bean too.

The app lets you change the splash screen by selecting the image u want using the gallery. You just have to crop the picture to the proper resolution using the app as well. A little more automated. Nice boot screens though might rock the black one. Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sherbon26:
Just find and .jpg image that is 480x800 and rename it gaudi_bootimage.jpg only downside to doing it this way is you have to flash the param.lfs everytime you wanna change it!

:mad:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sherbon26:
Man had I known Hellcats was working for us on jellybean I would not have started this thread!

Have to be on stock no cwm kernel. Repack would not work for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] prguzman1978:
Thanks homey i spent hours and posting and starting threads about trying to get back original stock boot logo because the annoying image draw image fail message, so i felled back to your thread and read op and placed my own image as you mentioned on mnt/.lfs and it worked thanks homey.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] emkeene:
Back to stock?

It's there a way to get back the stock splash screen after flashing this tar? I tried your method and it went fine until I went to copy the .jpg to /mnt/.lfs when it informed me that there was not enough free space (0.0 bytes free). I tried restoring the nandroid backup I made and I still get the error about drawing gaudi_bootimage.jpg instead of the stock Galaxy S II splash screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Now I'm stuck with no splash screen at all LOL

Edit: I found a stock param.lfs from ICS FI27 at

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2127501

Flashed it using Mobile Odin, and now I am back to a stock splash screen. Still I wonder why the phone told me I had no free space in the .lfs folder...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
The image was probably too big.

from the i9100 forums, same restrictions apply here also.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CamCroz99:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Did you flash the file in the OP with Mobile Odin? I believe that is when the file is created.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CamCroz99:
Are you referring to this the SGS2_custom_param_lfs.tar file?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CamCroz99:
Yes I have. I even get the green text that says image not found at boot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
I'm using ROM Toolbox if that helps
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CamCroz99:
I'll try that. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 07:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------

I pasted my pic in the folder and when I rebooted I still got green text.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Yeah I did too, but some people have gotten it to work so idk
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CamCroz99:
Weird...maybe it requires one to be on a TW ROM. But you would think it would work either way..Oh well thanks anyway.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Nope, I tried on a TouchWiz ROM
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CamCroz99:
Well that stinks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CamCroz99:
I got it!! Use this method this method.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriver44:
I have found I can change the splash screen using the app and only on stock TW JB ROM with the stock kernel. Once you get it the way you want then flash away with custom roms!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Ahh, so you gotta be completely stock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CamCroz99:
I guess so.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
You HAVE to be completely stock. Steps:

1. Make a backup.

2. Go to download mode and use the one-vlick of your choice (I.e. GB27, FL24).

3. Once phone reboots to STOCK, download the SGS2 app a few posts back. It is in the play store.

4. Pick a 480x800 picture.

5. Set the picture as your splash screen and or charging screen.

6. Reboot

7. From this point, you can restore your backup or start fresh.

I have serious issues now . I think I have the EMMC BUG ;!+ so I have to put this aside Until I find the solution . I'm stuck 0n Project X 3.9
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriver44:
Curious to what makes you think that? Can you flash anything? Have you used mobile Odin to flash a custom kernel? What exactly is going on?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
If you had the EMMC Brick Bug you wouldn't be stuck on any ROM, you would be looking for another phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bestrooted:
I kept getting a status 7 error when I tried restoring project x I enabled show logs and it said I had corrupted data possibly the Emmc bug. I have ran jelly 2xformat q and wiped everything manually and I still have the aio mod installed after a clean flash . and I get bootloop when I restore a backup . I did check emmc chip with the Emmc bug app and I passed the test with a Sane chip . do you have any idea where I went wrong and a solution
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Status 7 is an assert error, I have never seen a status 7 error when restoring a nandroid. And Project X doesn't have an assert prompt in the updater script. So I'm confused as to what you actually did, a status 7 error would imply you tried to flash something not meant for your device.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bestrooted:
I flashed GC01 and I wasn't aware it was a non rooted zip so I used framaroot and flashed AGAT v 0.6.8 recovery and tried to restore that's when it happened . Do I need to move this to another thread? Sorry for if topic discussion this happened in process of changing splash screen
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
You sure it didn't say md5 mismatch when restoring your nandroid? Cuz that's easily fixable.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bestrooted:
Yes I'm sure it didn't say that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bestrooted:
Will GC01 ONECLICKEXE give a .clean slate and start over fresh?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Yes, just make sure it's rooted
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
Have you wiped Data? If so, then I believe the only possible thing left is to use the one-click and get back to stock. What were you doing prior to the "emmc bug" issue? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1903252 should help out.

You're trying to Restore back to project x. Okay hopefully you have the original project X rom still on your phone. Flash that, let it boot up, go back into recovery and now try restoring the project x that you were trying before.

Ive had a Status 7 error months ago, I think that's how I fixed it. Can't b certain.

That's exactly what I had to do. I had same problem again trying to use cwm5 to restore. Gonna stick with el29 direct boot

@legen_dary when i execute the Command

i get an error

unpackbootimg: command not found

Btw i'm on Ubuntu 13.04

Thanks
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Rishik999:
To execute files u need to command

./

At the start

i.e

./unpackbootimg -i boot.img
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:
herp derp :\

As you cant execute the command, it means that your path is set wrong :\

I haven't tried Ubuntu 13.04 yet, but, I can say for sure that [MENTION=4621813]legen_dary[/MENTION] 's command worked.

Delete the line that you added in ~/.bashrc (related to boot_img tools), and execute the following command, from your terminal:

export PATH=${PATH}:/home/username/boot_img_tools

Replace username, and boot_img tools directory location correctly. And, no quotes should be added anywhere :silly:

Else, the simplest workaround is [MENTION=4790568]Rishik999[/MENTION] 's way. Copy-Paste the unpackbootimg, mkbootimg, mkbootfs binaries into your working folder, and execute them using relative file paths, i.e. "./". Example, ./unpackbootimg

Which version of ubuntu do u suggest? 12.04 or 13.04??

and is it OK to use it from bootable USB?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] 7alvi:
Any version of Ubuntu will do.

Don't try compiling from bootable USB because 1) Compiling will be very slow. 2) You have to install packages also that might clog your thumb drive!

If you don't have any problem with slowness then you can try compiling it on BBQ live usb. It has all android packages required for compiling preinstalled!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Tausif Ahmed:
Is Cygwin a replacement to compile on windows rather on Ubuntu?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:
No.

Cygwin is what you call an "emulator". It allows you to run linux programs by emulating a linux environment. Cygwin cannot be used to "compile a ROM".

The cygwin website explains it best.

What Cygwin is?

a collection of tools which provide a Linux look and feel environment for Windows.

a DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a Linux API layer providing substantial Linux API functionality.

What Cygwin isn't?

a way to run native Linux apps on Windows. You must rebuild your application from source if you want it to run on Windows.

a way to magically make native Windows apps aware of UNIX® functionality like signals, ptys, etc. Again, you need to build your apps from source if you want to take advantage of Cygwin functionality.
